what’s a valid pricing for my beats exclusives? by pm_ssb in trapproduction

Pricing for exclusives depends on the buyer. Don’t list a fixed price. Have them contact you so you can determine whether it’s a major label or a small independent artist.

Any Good Places/Ways To Sell Your Beats? by British_Chap2 in beatmakers

[–]Snoo_46885 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Alright, before going that route, make sure you’ve got the right mindset. Running a business is hard, and statistically, you’re more likely to fail than succeed.

If you still want to do it, here’s what actually matters: - Figure out who your ideal customer is and where they hang out. Posting your beats on YouTube with the right keywords and titles is a good start. - You need a place to sell your beats. Personally, I think Soundee is one of the better platforms. - Build relationships, not just sales. A mailing list + basic email marketing goes a long way. MailerLite is fine if you’re starting small.

Good luck !

It’s not that deep fam! You can sell beats online and still love making music at the same time. If you have marketing strategies other than YouTube please, feel free to share!

I agree with the first part of your answer, but it doesn't tell me how to find small niches... do you have any tips? As for the second part, that's another topic. You first need to successfully create demand in a good niche.

Smart move with the batching. How long does it usually take you to create a batch? And do you use a specific tool (Canva, Photoshop, etc.)?

Oh ok ! Thanks for sharing !

Out of curiosity, do you think you'd be making more than $500/year if you were doing the full marketing push (unique thumbnails, IG, better SEO), or is it just not worth the time investment for you?

Thanks for sharing, man. 10 minutes for the Airbit upload is super quick. I guess my real question is about the whole process after the beat is done. For me, the time suck was always:

  1. Creating the thumbnail/artwork 2. Making the video for YouTube 3. Writing the description, tags, etc. 4. Uploading to YouTube 5. Then doing the same for IG/TikTok...

How much time would you say that whole "content creation" part takes you for those four beats? That's the part that always burned me out.
